The word went out and we were delighted with the response to the first Open Coffee Club on the 29th of May. A great bunch of people from many different backgrounds turned out. Our group were hard to miss with dramatic Open Coffee cups emblasoning each table, commissioned especially for the event by Made in Hollywood. The coffee and the location were great and spirited conversation and networking ensued. Among the attendees were Denise Fay, who organised and marketed the event with Mary Carty, Campbell Scott, Sian Maloney, Shane Cowley, David Behan, Raul Dore, and Richie Bowden and others I did not get a chance to meet. Hopefully, I will make your acquaintance next time.
Documenting the proceedings with his trusty iPhone was Alan O’Rourke, he did manage to grab a quick coffee though, you’ll be glad to know! In all fifteen entrepreneurs supported the event and made connections with business people from Drogheda and surrounding areas. Hopefully in true Open Coffee spirit these links will continue to grow and flourish and provide ongoing opportunities and mentorship. A huge thanks to one and all for taking time out to join us in the D Hotel on the day.
On foot of the positive feedback received, we have organised another meet up on the 26th of June, the last Friday of the month, 9.30 am in the D Hotel. Come along and meet enthusiastic business people for advice, support, coffee and a chat. We have created a Twitter account @occdrogheda so make sure to follow us. Post a reply here and let us know you can join us.
Looking forward to seeing you all.
